After getting a rough quote on concrete, my workshop dreams are going to be stuck to just finishing out my well house. Approximately 12x14 with a 5'+ garage door and a standard exterior door. I have a 6'x6' slab that was used for a horse walker. If I can pick up the slab with my tractor I can set it outside the garage door for additional cutting space.

Things to address:

1) importance of insulation. This would be a once a week except for project space. I will be putting a window unit in can I get ball with wall sheeting or is insulation a must? Use just standard r-15? Or something else?

2) what would be the best way to seal the space between the slab and the bumps in the metal siding? It's a triangular space? Would Mueller have something official? Also the eves were done and left a gap all around, and I want to do my best to have a wasp free work space.

3). For the walls is sheet rock the cheapest option? If I will be occationally Weldon in there do I need to be sure and get the fire proof? OSB is a bit cheaper but thought Sheetrock would finish out a bunch nicer.

4) For the ceiling, just insulate and sheet rock or once again is it not even needed on the small space.

5) Is the any flooring that can take welding abuse?

6). I need to replace the door frame how much security can be improved by heavier striking plates better dead bolts etc?

7). If I have a well and AC on the same breaker will I have issues if I run a saw at the same time?

Any other pointers would be great. Here are a few assorted pictures to clarify.



Space around the bottom of the slab


Light comin in from gap in the eves. Hopefully there is a better option than just yellow spray foam.



Are there any rules on what wall the AC should go. The south wall shown has no doors.



Ceiling shown. With the garage door and florecesent lighting, I would rather not try to create a drop ceiling. Also the port hole for the well if it were ever to need to be pulled needs to stay clear.

How important is insulation the cheapo garage door.
